Question ESIM working on OFFICIAL UI4 on the US version? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Can someone who has a US version, whether unlocked or locked to a carrier, can you confirm if the esim is active (so phone can be used as dual sim)?
Some said it was the case on the beta...
Thanks

Unlocked on beta 3. I've been using e-SIM for like 3 weeks. E-SIM on T-Mobile and physical SIM from Europe. You can also disable any of them from SIM Manager anytime you want.

Yes I heard it works on the beta. Does it work on the official version too?

Yes it does

I can confirm there is esim option in Verizon sm-g998u andriod 12 next week i will add prepaid esim plan

I tried the TMobile version updated to official ui4 and esim option is there.

I have updated to Android 12 and since then i lost my ESIM feature from Sim card management menu. I live in germany. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Can confirm eSIM is working. I have the SM-G998U (Verizon, network unlocked). I got the Android 12 update a few days ago.
After the update, I had a physical T-Mobile SIM that I was able to convert the T-Mobile SIM into an eSIM. I popped out the physical T-Mobile SIM, then grabbed a local pay-as-you-go physical SIM from the country I'm in right now and both are working.
I get texts to/from my T-Mobile eSIM and have data from my (local) physical SIM. Works well!

I confirm esim working in S21 Ultra Snapdragon SM-G998U1 in Android 12 Colombia Bogota but keep in mind that in Colombia the esim only works with movistar

W280 Vs W280A

What are the differences between W280 and W280A?
Looking on the LG website, the only 2 models I see are W280A and W280V. I'm assuming those are for AT&T and Verizon, respectively. Where did you see one that was just W280 with no letter after it?
W280 is the original Google Store version. completely carrier free. W280A is the AT&T version, it ships with an AT&T SIM installed.

Ah, ok, thanks for the clarification. I missed out on buying it from Google so I got a W280A from Amazon. It's unlocked and I have it working on T-Mobile. Do you know if there is any actual difference other than it shipping with an AT&T SIM?

I have the Google version, so can't speak authoritatively on the AT&T version. From what I understand AT&T uses some "numbersync" software to sync watch calls with your phone number, so if there is anything pre-installed for that, you won't need it on T-Mobile. Mine is running Wear 2.5.0.172604017 Android 7.1.1 Build NQF43O which I believe is the latest production release for US models.

TA1005 band 12?

Does TA1005 model have band 12? Some sites say yes, some no? Thanks

I might have an answer to this. I recently bought a TA-1005 SS HK 11A1NB21A05 variant. On the box label it lists these LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/8/12/13/17/20/28/38/40/41.
This is odd because for some reason Nokia Support when I last checked stated that there were no variants of the Nokia 8 Sirocco available that supported US LTE bands. On the box label it clearly shows otherwise. Other sites and LTE band checking sites are conflicting too.
Do you know if there is a way to check band locking or available bands from a diag menu? I know of the Info menu available from the dialer, but maybe there are other hidden menus to confirm this with.

To follow up on this I see wifi calling and VoLTE provisioning are good. I still don't know officially if band 12 exists but the phone works fine on T-mobile.

N9600 Wifi Calling & VoLTE enabled without root!

Hi folks,
Just discovered today that the newest software update on N9600 enables the Wifi Calling and VoLTE with my TracFone T-mobile SIM card!! I found this because when I was on the call it says "HD" on the screen, which I only saw on US version phones before.
My Dual SIM N9600 (likely from Hong Kong) has never been rooted or flashed with any CSC file. It's in its pristine official status except for the OTA updates every month. I remember that the VoLTE option was not available before this update, whenever I was trying to tap the "VoLTE" icon in the drop down menu it said "VoLTE is not available for this software version" blahblahblah. The June update is 500ish MB which I thought was bulky but didn't know why (in the What's New section of the update info it's just some very generic bs like improved performance and latest security patch)
I'm soooo excited about being able to use my phone on wifi with airplane mode on! :laugh::laugh: also the HD voice is really nice.

This is seriously great news. I've been planning to get a dual sim (exynos / snapdragon) so that I don't have to carry 2 phones (currently Note 9(960U1) and Note 5. One on T-mobile and another one on Mint mobile.
Would you please do a speedtest (speedtest.net app) on LTE/Data and post the screenshot. I am hoping the speed is good and if so Google Voice will work with out issue which is one of my requirement. I really don't like to go down the root/custom rom/CSC change route if I can avoid it.
If I buy on eBay, returning once opened will incur 20% or 25% restocking with the vendors I've shortlisted so like to avoid that.
Thanks much!
i see your on the TGY rom same here but in the latest update they have disabled it again!? now it says "volte is not supported by your current software version" are you experiencing this?

P30 Pro not supporting VoLTE on all providers

Congstar in Germany (provider in Telekom-Network) now has VoLTE and WifiCall. Unfortunaltely, it works with almost all smartphones, BUT NOT with Huawei-Phones. My P30 Pro can't do VoLTE and WifiCall in Congstar-Network. If I put the SIM-card in other phones, it works.
There are customers from other providers that have the same problem with Huawei.
Why is that?
Yeah i searched to for some days now, and can not find any Option to activate VoLte here in Luxembourg with Tango Provider. I Phoned the Tech support and after 3 Persons i got someone that say to me that for now they only support Iphone and some Samsung Phones...
i will try to find someone with an other Provider and try with oder Sim Cards.
I think this is a very bad design choice from Huawei, to not even show the button, instead of a gray button and say it is not compatible with my Provider.
Model: VOG-L29
Build number: 10.0.0.186(C431E19R2P5)
Android 10
Security Patch 1 January 2020
But they don't do it.

I don't had any VoLTE option in the s20 and note 20 and I asked on the telegram groups about this and yeah if you have a call and LTE at the same time that means VoLTE it's working fine, by the way how I can get in to that menu?

Hi
My Three provider in UK are supporting WifiCall and working perfect on my p30 pro, my wife's p30 working perfectly either.
Regards
Working both for O2 in Germany. AFAIK those are options provisioned by your provider. If they didn't "approve" p30, it won't be enabled. Some providers have an annoying bias towards iPhone and major Samsung flagships. Had EE before for which WiFi calling was enabled but volte not.

My Verizon s21 ultra unlocked automatically after 6o days of service.
If you've had it since April on Verizon and are having trouble with the unlock I'd call Verizon. I don't know of any unlock service that works for Verizon since it's done on their servers. Maybe someone else has had luck.

Can someone tell me why my phone has two different imei numbers?
Any update on this? I'm having the same issue with an S21 5G from VZW. I've tried changing the CSC to XAA and ATT and still get the same issue.
